What to Expect on the Louisiana Electrician Exam
Louisiana does not issue a statewide journeyman electrician license. The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) licenses Electrical Contractors only. The contractor exam is administered by PSI: 80 questions, 240 minutes (4 hours), 70% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and a $75 exam fee. Because Louisiana licenses contractors rather than journeymen, electricians in Louisiana typically work under a licensed contractor until they are ready to apply for the contractor license themselves. The contractor application requires documentation of qualifying experience, financial capacity, and workers' compensation and liability insurance. Louisiana has reciprocity agreements with some neighboring states, including Kentucky. The PSI exam covers all major NEC 2023 topics with particular emphasis on Articles 220 (load calculations), 230 (services), 250 (grounding), 310 (conductors), and 430 (motors). New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and Lafayette are the largest markets in the state. Louisiana's petrochemical, industrial, and port construction sectors generate substantial electrical work statewide. The practice questions below cover all NEC 2023 topics tested on the Louisiana LSLBC PSI exam.
